What Happened
The master cylinder is a crucial part of your vehicle's brake system, responsible for converting the pressure from your brake pedal into stopping power. In some cases, the seal in your master cylinder can fail and leak brake fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seal fails and brake fluid leaks, you could experience poor braking performance, which could cause you to lose control of your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your vehicle's master cylinder will be inspected for a faulty seal, and if it's found to be defective, your dealer will replace it with a new one at no cost to you. You'll also be offered a refund for any defective master cylinders that have already been installed.
